McKaley’s paternal grandfather is Gaines Gilmore Miller (the son of Paul Stokes Miller and Johnnie Virginia Murray). Gaines was born in Texas. Paul was the son of Paul Miller and Kay Monroe Gilmore. Johnnie was the daughter of John La Fayette Murray and Martha Florence Shepperd.
McKaley’s paternal grandmother was Graciela Beatriz León Hernández (the daughter of Rafael A. León and Graciela Hernández). McKaley’s grandmother Graciela was born in Caracas, Venezuela.
McKaley’s maternal grandmother was Jeana Fay Parker (the daughter of Weldon T. Parker and Fannie Pryor). Jeana was born in Oklahoma. Weldon was the son of William/Will/Willie Thomas/Tom Parker and Edna Jane Latham. Fannie was the daughter of Thomas/Tom Harlan Pryor and Lottie Myrtle/Mirtle Hott.
McKaley’s paternal grandmother was Graciela Beatriz León Hernández (the daughter of Rafael A. León and Graciela Hernández). McKaley’s grandmother Graciela was born in Caracas, Venezuela.
These are most likely Rafael and Graciela:

She was born in 1944, died in 2000 under the name Graciela Garcia. She is also noted under the name Graciela Beatriz Leon Hernand (possibly Hernandez, but cut off) on ancestry.com since the SS usually notes all names that person had.
She also has a naturalization record on ancestry.com. I can’t really tell what city she’s from (it’s blurry since I don’t have a subscription so I can only access low res image), but I can tell it says Venezuela. This one is under the name Graciela Beatriz Miller.
There’s a record on familysearch of Graciela Leon Hernandez coming on an airplane from Venezuela, but I don’t know if that’s the same woman, since this one landed in NY.
Thanks! I almost never use ancestry, so I only checked familysearch. Seems like I should use ancestry more.
is it free?
Lol, no. There are some things that are free.
This is a list of free collections:

I found her maternal grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s obituaries:

Nice! That’s who I suspected was her maternal grandmother.
Anyone want to try to find anything about her Hispanic grandmother? Or her mother for that matter. It seems like all trails end at the ancestors I’ve listed. Though I have my suspicions about who her maternal grandparents are.
I’ll try in a couple hours, but it’s Texas, so it’s most likely Mexican (maaaaaaybe Puerto Rican).
I would’ve also assumed Mexican if it wasn’t for the fact that I can’t find her birth record in Texas.
Graciela deffinitely wasn’t born in Texas, since she was a naturalized citizen:

But, I was wrong about her being Mexican. Looks like she was Venezuelan.
Have you found anything that points in that direction?
@madman
Both her naturalization papers and death record on ancestry say Venezuela.
I didn’t find Venezuelan anywhere.
